Nabs Two Escapees Alertness of the South Salt Lake marshal and a deputy marshall resulted in the arrest Oct. 2 about 10 a.m. of two youths, 16 and 17, who had escaped from the State Industrial School in Ogden the night of September 29 and had burglarized a market at 268 Paxton Avenue (1185 South) early the next morning. The deputy, A1 Sexton, caught the two boys near 2nd East and Truman Avenue after they had been seen by Marshal Henry Dipo, Jr. who had alerted the deputy marshal. They were in possession of some beer, cigarets, gum, candy, bread, milk and cup cakes they had stolen from the market. The boys, according to State Industrial School authorities, were two of eight youths who escaped, stole a car and drove to Salt Lake City. When the two were discovered in the store, one of them waved a butcher knife at LaMar Hadley, Richard Fors, and Rod Jensen, who were in the (Cont. on Page 3, Col. 3) pioneer theatrical heritage.

Both were commenced on July 1, the original in 1861 and the latter in 1960. It is expected that dedicatory ceremonies for the new theater will be held on the centennial of the original theater, March 6, 1962. Installation of special equipment never dreamed of by the original builders such as elevating stages, complex lighting and dimming devices, service areas not considered in the old building will undoubtedly delay full operation of the new theater until the fall of 1962.
